How's your New Year plan working out? Are you sticking to your resolutions? Have you mapped out the whole year with key milestones to hit each month / quarter? Do you have a BIG vision and know exactly where you're going? You have? Woohoo! Brilliant! Go YOU! For the rest of us mortals, welcome to the [...]

Do you ever feel guilty about letting people down? This has come up a lot in my practice recently. Several people have been wrestling with how to stay on track with their goals without letting others down. Each person knew they should decline what was on offer because it simply didn't fit with their current needs [...]

Do you ever feel stuck? Are you frustrated by your lack of progress? Do you sometimes feel like you’re holding yourself back through laziness, procrastination or lack of clarity? This is very human and something most of us experience time and time again in our lives. We want to make a change or we even have [...]

Do you find as the days get longer and lighter you develop a bit of a spring in your step? Do you yearn to 'bunk off' the office and head outside? Research suggests you should go for it. Yes! The research boffins say we should work less and move more... As well as longer daylight hours [...]

I'm about to start working on a project to help women in senior positions in corporate organisations step up their public speaking and visibility to create more impact and lead change. This both excites and terrifies me. It feels like work I was born to do, but it's giving me the collywobbles and making me ask: [...]

Sometimes knowing where we're going, how we're going to get there and what we have to do next still isn't enough to get us moving and taking action.
